Emo wannabes will want to act like they're the real thing,which of course, they're not. The emo-girl wannabes will like to go to 'Claires' and 'Ardene' and buy damn cheap skull necklaces and emo-stripe gloves. They think just because they try to dress like the real emos they think they're a part of it. And HEY, those boneheads will do anything to be LIKE an emo but they never will understand what it is. If another emo tries to strike up a conversation to test them, they'll give a lame excuse and get out of it. They'll dye their hair, go to freaking Hot Topic, all those. But hello, those airheads know NOTHING about the emo culture.
emo kid:I saw you in Hot Topic yesterday.

emo wannabe:Yeah! I got these awesome skull t-shirts and stuff!HEEHEE!

emo kid: Why.

emo wannabe:Cuz I'm like a emo! And everyone knows emos lyke bands lyke Metro Station and stuff lyke thaaat!

Someone that thinks they are Emo but aren't. They claim to like the same music and cut themselves although not all emos cut themsleves. So they usually end up dying their hair and going to Hot Topic and buying band shirts although they dont listen to them. They also act depressed.
Emo: Omg did you go to that Black Veil Brides on Sunday? It was totally Awesome! (talking to their Emo friends)
Emo Wannabe: Yea I went I really like the drummer, Charles!
Emo: Umm his name is Christian...
Emo Wannabe: Ohh Yea, I uhh forgot...
Emo: Whatever Emo wannabe (walks away with friends)

Girls who are preppy and see a lot of emo kids and see how they have lots of friends. They don't have any friends and just want to hang out with them. The dtages of the emo wannabe...

1) Gets a pair of Airwalk and just goes around saying "Hey look at my new converse!" The real emo/scene kids walk away and laugh at her.

2) She's wearing a black shirt with a skull on it. This is the only black shirt she owns and a pink sweatshirt.

3) She brags about how she cut herself yesterday. "OMG GUYS! I got so mad at my mom for telling me to turndown my Greenday CDs and cut myself!" No one really cares except for the nerd who is afraid of emos.

4) She went to Claire's and bought some skull earings and some white and black striped gloves.

5) She got a chain and a bow at Hot Topic. While she was there some REAL emo kids were probably laughing at her and wondering why she would come here.

6) Blah blah blah, usually later on she would turn into a real emo...

Boys who are usually made fun of decide to become emo.

1) He starts saying that he loves Greenday and his TXT signature is "I aM tHe EnEmy" or some shit like that.

2) He says that he eats babies over, and over, and OVER, AND OVER again. His friends just tell him to shut up and say something else, but now he just goes to the corner and pretends to be upset.

3) Today, he has totally abandoned his friends for a corner.

4) He tries to talk to his old friends after being rejected by the emo kids. And of course all he wants to talk about is how he cuts himself. (PSSSSSHHHHH)

5) Now the emo kids will treat him like their little chihuahua because he won't leave them alone.

6) He dyed his hair "black" in one place but it's really just dark dark blue.

7) Never makes it to emo paradise this way. He's just a pet to them.
Emo Wannabe Girl: OOHH EMMM GEEE! I LUV MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!

A paradox, since Emos themselves are wannabe goths/vampires.
Emo: Oh boo hoo my lifes so hard I wish I was a vampire

the groups of kids, usually preps, who deciede they want to be part of this whole emo scene we have going on at the moment. they do this as they believe its cool and the thing to do when actually they end up looking like idiots as you can tell their fakeness.

1)when one deciedes they want to become emo, the first step is to buy a pair of converse, (the girls usually go for pink), as they see other "emo" kids wearing them. if they're really brave they might go a stap further and buy some checkered vans...how hardcore of them.

2)this is the stage when they add themselves to myspace and browse the whole site looking for the real 'uns to add. most of the time they can be rejected but the ones who do accept them regret it later as they realise wannabe has now copied their layout,name etc.
they also take a photo of themselves,camera above them or in the mirror, with a screwed up look on their face to express their co-called pain.

3)the image change stage- this is the stage where mr & miss wannabe go and buy some new clothes to make them appear more emo. the girls find a cheap studded belt and some cheap-ass jewellery and some lame-ass t-shirt. the boys are them same too.

the really hardcore wannabes also dye their hair at this stage. they usually go for the black or reddish colour and mention the recent dye jobs at every chance they get stating they felt like "rebelling against their parents".

4) this is where they branch out and try going to a show. they move their lips a lot pretending they know the words when they dont or only know the choruses. the brave ones go up to the real kids and try to make convosation with them about their pain and deathwishes. none of which they have.

so their, we have it. the 4 main stages of emo wannabe-ness. of course we have other tiny changes we see happening in between but lets face it, the wannabes aren't helpin themselves,are they?

EMO WANNABES ALWAYS ADMIT TO BEING "EMO". REAL KIDS HAVE THE SELF RESPECT AND KNOW NOT TO LABEL THEMSELVES BECUASE IT LOWERS YOU
emo wannabe girl - so i bought some converse at the weekend.

real kid - great, i heard you got a ticket to the used show later this week?

wannabe - YEAH! cant wait. great place to tell everybody about how emo i am and i can express my pain.

real kid - why? the shows about listening to the music and why the heel did you just label yourself emo...all the idiots do that...your really low

All wannabes are bad, but Emo wannabes annoy me the most. They can usually be seen wearing a band top/hoodie which they don't even listen to, jeans or black trousers, fake Converse or chunky trainers, cheap black & red or black & white stripy gloves, wrist bands (usually checkered) and braclets, stitch band names on their school bags and put badges of HIM and Greenday on their hoodie and/or bag, and if they take their wannabe-ness to another level, they might dye their hair black and/or get a stud. They usually have no knowledge whatsoever of the Emo music and how the whole thing works, but they want to be differant so they turn to the emo crowd. One day they think to themselves: "I want to be cool like that guy" so the next school day the completly change their look and have a go at their friends for because they don't like Emo music, even though they don't know it themselves. In their MSN names, they sometimes display flowers (which usually face down), the letters are "uSuAlLy SpElT lIkE tHiS" and make up a very un-convincing depressing quote. They will also try to be random, which means they'll pretend to find 'cheese' and 'pie' funny.
Scene Kid: So what's your favourite Fallout Boy song?

Emo wannabe: Umm.... the one with that reindeer guy!

Scene Kid: You mean "Sugar, we're going down"?

Emo wannabe: Oh yeah that's what it's called I forgot!

Scene Kid: Haha! You're such a wannabe loser...

Someone who dons the typical emo wardrobe, emo pants, emo haircut but has no idea about the mind set. The tell every one how emo they are, and tell every one about there emo music collection of emo rock. They tell the world how crap there life is even no its not bad at all. They enjoy posing for emo shots, lookin at the camera with a “look at me, im awesomely emo” expresion on their faces. they also think cutting themselves makes them emos
emo wannabe: i went to a "thursady" concert - total emo rock
real emo: i saw u there
emo wannabe: then i went home and cut my wrist after *shows damaged wrists*
real emo: ur such a poser - you emo wannabe *punches wannabe*
